Introducing VizDiff: Simplified Visual Regression Testing for Storybook

As frontend developers, we’ve all experienced the frustration of pushing UI changes that inadvertently break visual consistency. Automated visual regression testing tools like Chromatic are excellent but often carry a steep learning curve and price tag, especially for small teams or startups. That's why I built VizDiff, a streamlined SaaS solution designed specifically for Storybook components. VizDiff makes automated screenshot testing accessible and affordable, enabling you to catch unwanted UI changes before they ship. Why VizDiff? Ease of Use: A simple integration into your existing GitHub workflow. Clear, Actionable Results: Easily spot visual differences highlighted at the pixel level. Affordable Pricing: Plans designed specifically with small teams and bootstrapped startups in mind. Features: Automatic Storybook Screenshots: VizDiff captures screenshots during your CI process, ensuring your visual tests run smoothly without additional manual effort. Intuitive Interface: A clean, easy-to-navigate UI to quickly identify visual regressions. Fast Setup: Integrates seamlessly into your existing workflow without significant setup overhead. Getting Started Getting started with VizDiff is straightforward: Install the GitHub app on your repository. Configure Storybook to push screenshots automatically. VizDiff immediately begins detecting visual changes, making them easy to review and manage. Your Feedback Matters! VizDiff was built to empower frontend developers and small teams. I'd love to hear your feedback—whether it's about your current visual testing workflow, features you'd love to see, or improvements to the overall experience.
